Media Bracket: O'Neill vs Sharpe
Four-five seeds are always tight and an upset isn't really an upset. That said, this matchup is ripe for an upset. As always, push your pick in the comments and keep people from voting for the opposition. Points awarded for your creativity. Or at least a fistful of StanleyNickels.
As with the earlier capsule, the content for this afternoon's content is straight from Brad Lee, GT PR Guru. All props to him for being so objective and informative on these.

Here's a vote for the lovely Angella...
…and why anyone would vote for O’Neill as a hockey journalist is completely beyond me. I honestly believe that my three-year-old neice could carry on a more in-depth hockey conversation than O’Neill could.

I think you just made my case for me, Brad. Let’s campaign to keep this tournament from becoming an out-and-out sausage fest!
I know it's time for hockey because I've started singing "Don't Stop Believing" with the words "...born and raised in FUCK DETRIOT!!!"

Hmmm....
This one I’m honestly stumped on…
I find Angela to be rather annoying when we make the adventure from Nebraska to the Drink Scotch…but the other guy doesn’t seem to know hockey/Blues worth a crap…
I could go all girl power on this one…but I honestly don’t know which to pick.
Put your big girl panties on and deal with it!
how many votes
is brian getting on this one?

"Smoker-husky voice" plus "excited shouting" equals "nails on chalkboard".
Angella’s voice might be fantastic in the right situation; but as a married man with an aversion to licking ashtrays, I’ll never find out.
On the other hand, voting for O’Neill is like stepping on babies. With those old spikey Kiss boots.

…or the wrong situation as well, if you get my meaning… ;-)

I vote Angellllla
Because the expose on her a few weeks ago melted my heart and made me love her…..well, not really but I like her more than I used to. And I wasn’t as annoyed with her as the guys who write the paper.
Angelllllllllllllllllla FTW!
Honestly. Dan O'Neill? A 4-seed?
Yeah, this will be a landslide.
Angelllllllllllla it is.
St. Louis Game Time . . . I need another beer.
And I can also write things in 140 characters or fewer.
O'neill puts out an occasional Blues article....
But Angella has the energy and attends the games! Plus she wins just on pic alone!
